Remove the rear seat base first, then the seat back. That will let you get to the strut tops.

And remember to get the geometry set afterwards.

cheers,

i will be having a go at the back seat later, i am hoping there are just some bolts holding the seat back on.

i need new tyres soon (1000 milse or so), would it be worth getting the geometry done after that or doesn't it matter too much so i can get it done straight away?
